CIDEC Recombinant Protein

Source : Escherichia Coli. CIDEC Human Recombinant produced in E.Coli is a single, non-glycosylated, polypeptide chain (Glu2-Gln238) containing 247 amino acids including a 10 aa His tag at N-terminus. The total calculated molecular mass is 28kDa. Cell Death-Inducing DFFA-Like Effector C (CIDEC) belongs to the cell death-inducing DNA fragmentation factor-like effector family, whose members have significant roles in apoptosis. CIDEC is expressed mainly in adipocytes, intestine, heart, stomach, and weakly in the brain, kidney and liver. CIDEC overexpression in preadipocytes induces apoptosis. CIDEC regulates enlargement of lipid droplets. The CIDEC gene is regulated by insulin and its expression is clearly correlated with insulin sensitivity. CIDEC gene mutations contribute to insulin resistant diabetes.
